Buffy : Season 8

1. bamph: Which do you enjoy more, doing the action heavy issues like next issue or #30 seems to sound like they will be or more character driven conversation pieces that this month’s issue (#28) is?

Georges: I love character stuff. Not that I don’t love the action, but with Buffy it’s the character stuff that really resonates. There is a whole mess of action coming up in the next few issues, just you wait. I’ve never drawn so many slayers in all my life! But then, issue 32 is all character stuff, so it’s a nice balance!

2. bamph: The hook up for Xander that you’ve been teasing for a while now. Was Xander/Dawn kissing and Buffy walking in on them in #28 it?

Georges: Yes, it was. I thought that was a nice little surprise that when you think about it, you wouldn’t be that surprised about. Of course there is a whole bout of drama after the fact, but you’ll see what I mean. And the hits just keep on coming! Once we ’round the stretch to the end of Season 8 it’ll seem like every issue is going to be a nail biter!

3. bamph: This might not be a question you can answer for spoilerish reasons but I’ll ask. After reading issue 28 and the end with Xander/Dawn and Buffy seeing it. Is it safe to assume, and a lot of people are, now after reading this issue that Joss is setting up a romantic triangle between Buffy/Xander/Dawn with Buffy realizing she’s interested in Xander right when her little sister hooks up with him or is that assumption too obvious and not unexpected enough from Joss?

Georges: You seemed to answer that non question yourself. All of what you said.

4. Skytteflickan88: International shipping for two sketchbooks?

Georges: This is a random question. I should have something on my site about this, but international shipping for 2 sketch books would be the same, $8.00. Just remind me when you do the PayPal part about which characters you want on which book.

5. Skytteflickan88: Your original art for sale: How much do you have left/are you planning on selling? Before I start looking through the comics for pages to buy, can you tell me which issues have nothing or very little to choose from?

Georges: There are still some pages from every issue. Not so much from the first few, but there are still some. Pages start at $100 and go up from there depending on the page. The best way to do this is to get a wish list going and the e-mail it to my site and someone will get back to you in a couple of days with availability and prices.

6. Skytteflickan88: Any covers left(and what are your charging for them?)?

Georges: Some covers, and they start at $1500 depending on the cover. The ones without Buffy on the cover might be a little less. Again, get a wish list together and mail it over.

7. bishopcruz: My question is kinda random but in your alternate cover for issue 17 (ages ago I know) I just noticed that the throne that Harth was sitting on was the same throne that Akira and Tetsuo used in the Akira manga? Was that intentional or just a coincidence?

Georges: Finally someone noticed! Yes, you are right! When I got the description for that issue which I knew I wasn’t drawing I got the image of Akira sitting on his throne and I thought wouldn’t that be cool if I did that for this cover. I waited forever for someone to say something. Some of the references are obvious... and others are obscure as hell. Gold star for Bishopcruz!
